In Sheridan on the 4th they have a car show down main street. We decided to head out and check out the cars and downtown main. A lot of the little stores were closed for the holiday, but it was fun to look around. Later that night Mike and Matt light up some fireworks. It was fun for everyone. Some of them would have been illegal here. :) We also got to see some big fireworks from their porch later, so that was good.
Sunday we went to church and got ready for our trip home on Monday. We then left together on Monday. We weren't in much of a hurry to get home, so we decided to make a couple of stops along the way.
We first stopped at Independence Rock. We took the little walk out there and Ben had started climbing up it by the time I got there with the end of the crew. I got to go climb up with him and Charlie came along as well. I was amazed to see those two little boys climbing up this rock all by themselves. They did great. Once we got to the top we got to look around at some of the names that are still visible. We saw a name dated back in 1904 and few around there. It was hard to read exact names, but it was neat to see them. We then hiked back down to Mike, Jacob and Brigit.
We then stopped at the Devil's Gate turn-off, but there really wasn't too much to see without really getting out and going for a walk, so we decided to just head down to Martin's Cove. We talked to a missionary there and he talked to us about Martin's Cove as well as the family that settled that area about 20 yrs after the Pioneers came through. We walked through the museum there and with tired, hungry kids we decided it was time to get back on the road and get going.
We made it home and the boys talked all night about 'climbing the big rock' earlier in the day. They talk about wanting to do it again. We may just have to do that the next time we go up that way. I took a ton of pictures, so I hope you can enjoy them.
